There was a lot of coverage of the 787s problems in Polish media recently and it brought to light one thing regarding these engines that really frightens me. Quoting the (leaked?) memo: >The experience with General Electric Engines, which had experienced perhaps two shut downs on the Boeing 767s in over 20 years, had given the airline a sense of security so that the shut down of one engine did not cause any pressure, the probability of the failure of the second engine was rated minimal. >Rolls Royce on the other hand had taught the airline however, that this was not true. From RR bulletins it is clear that the shut down of one engine dramatically increases the likelihood of the other engine failing. This forces us to revise our approach to ETOPS. http://avherald.com/h?article=4b69e455 http://avherald.com/h?article=4b69e455
